The manner in which medical information is communicated by clinicians has a major effect on patients. However, patients also receive medical information from sources other than clinicians or health care environments. Although information from the mainstream media, the internet, or social media may be more accessible for patients, these sources can present challenges for communication during the clinical encounter, particularly if real or perceived risks of a medical intervention are magnified and benefits are minimized. Clinicians have an important role as trusted sources of medical information. Helping clinicians deliver accurate information more effectively can lead to betterinformed patients.JAMA's mission is to promote the science and art of medicine and the betterment of public health. JAMA pursues this mission by publishing original research with Editorials and Viewpoints to provide the context for scientific findings and articles that educate readers on important clinical topics. JAMA publishes for a broad audience that includes scientists, clinicians, patients, health care leaders, policymakers, the media, and the lay public. An important priority for JAMA is helping clinicians provide evidence-based care to patients. Because communication in the clinical encounter is important for effective patient care, JAMA aims to help clinicians accurately and effectively communicate medical information to patients and help patients obtain unbiased information relevant to health.JAMA is launching an Insights series titled "Communicating Medicine" as a forum to introduce strategies for the clinician to improve communication of medicine and healthrelated topics to patients. The first in this series, "Strategies to Improve Medical Communication" by Cappola and Cohen, was previously published and described a framework from communications literature for examining information exchange in the clinical encounter. 1 In the current issue of JAMA, the article "Delivering Effective Messages in the Patient-Clinician Encounter" by Cappella and Street discusses strategies for clinicians to share credible and clear health information with their patients. 2 JAMA invites new submissions for this series. Articles in this series will be approximately 1000 words in length with an accompanying table or figure. Submissions should be based on rigorous research from the medical, communications, and social science literature. JAMA looks forward to launch of this new series and welcomes readers' comments and feedback. Inquiries can be made to section editor

Improving Medical Communication

To the Editor Dr Cappola and Ms Cohen's article 1 highlighted the importance of medical communication. The study of communication dates to ancient Greece when Aristotle first studied the rhetoric of Western civilizations. Modern communication scholars draw from this long and rich history, applying theory and praxis to various contexts.Twentieth-century communication scholars identified 3 subfields of the discipline: interpersonal, organizational, and mass communication. For example, interpersonal communication scholars explore patient-clinician relationships and health outcomes. 2 Organizational communication scholars, who often examine internal communication, study the effects of clinician job stress on individual and small groups, as well as patient outcomes. 3 Mass communication scholars develop and evaluate messages to improve health outcomes. For example, they study public health campaigns such as those designed to reduce smoking. 4 These modern scientists also developed evidence-based communication models, which highlight the deficiencies in the figure depicted by Cappola and Cohen.As communication scientists, we argue that Cappola and Cohen's explanation provides basic strategies for communication but falls short of a patient-centered approach to communication, especially in the interpersonal context in which much of medical communication takes place. Their unidirectional figure "Information Flow in Medical Communication" is reminiscent of the agenda-setting model popular in the late 1960s. The figure does not consider the interactional nature of the patient-clinician relationship. Barnlund's Transactional Model 5 more aptly depicts communication as taking place between individuals who are simultaneously senders and receivers engaged in 2-way communication that involves both an initial message as well as feedback messages. Further, Barnlund's model shows that the ways clinicians and patients send and receive messages is influenced by their social, relational, and cultural experiences. Clinicians and patients have distinct experiences that create opportunities for noise such as stereotypes, which can lead to dissonance and misunderstandings.Communication scientists are specialists who are available for consults and referrals from their medical colleagues.We offer specialized, theoretical, and evidence-driven guidance on the dissemination and implementation of medical evidence. Medical schools around the country embed communication scientists as faculty while others, such as the Penn Medical Communication Research Institute, collaborate with faculty from the Annenberg School for Communication. Communication scientists are uniquely trained to understand the varied contexts in which medical communication occurs. This unique perspective allows us to bridge the gap in understanding the distinct experiences of the clinician and patient, and create relevant, practical, and sustainable health solutions that improve quality of life for our patients and communities.
